I will say that the food there was excellent.
Don't get me wrong, Egypt and Saudi are much more ****holes, but if I never go back to Israel again, it will be no loss.
I find it hard to accept that the response to border attacks is to bomb the international airport. Imagine if the UK had totalled Buenos Aires international Airport over the Falkland Islands?
Neither side is right in this, but I stand by my comments regarding the Israel I saw. It's not a third world country, but neither is it the "promised land".
What the hell you talking about citys in israel put the rest of the middle east to shame there a well developed country.
